I recently purchased the BISSELL CrossWave HydroSteam Deluxe Wet Dry Vac, and I’m absolutely thrilled with how well it works! It’s become an essential part of my cleaning routine...especially with having 4 dogs! The fact that this vacuum both vacuums and washes your floors at the same time is a total game-changer! I have hardwood floors, and the CrossWave does an excellent job of picking up dust, dirt, and debris while leaving the floors clean and shiny. The HydroSteam feature is amazing – it really helps break down stuck-on grime and bacteria, making my floors feel so much fresher than just a regular mop. The steam is gentle yet effective, and I love knowing I’m sanitizing as I clean. I love how versatile this model is. It works great on both hard floors and area rugs. I can easily switch between modes with the push of a button, making it perfect for my mixed flooring. It’s surprisingly lightweight for a multi-functional vacuum. The swivel steering makes it really easy to maneuver around furniture, and I don’t have to strain to get to corners or edges. The tank is easy to fill and empty, and the self-cleaning feature is a huge plus. The machine cleans itself after every use, which makes maintenance a breeze. I don’t have to worry about cleaning the brushes or hoses manually – they get cleaned automatically! Read more

I have two small Jack Russell Terriers who are in and out of the house all day. They dig in the sandy backyard and bring in fine sand on their paws and in their fur, plus their super-fine white hairs that end up all over my tile and hard floors. I sweep the back-door area every single day (still do), spot-mop when needed, and used to do a full 2–3 hour deep clean at least once a week. That was easily 4–5 hours a week total on floors that never actually felt clean. I never walked barefoot because I’d feel gritty sand the second my shoes came off. The Bissell CrossWave HydroSteam Deluxe does a better job in one 60–90 minute pass than all of that combined. First time I used it, the dirty water tank was full of sand I didn’t know was there and a ton of white dog hair I thought I’d swept up. When the floors dried (way faster than regular mopping), I could walk barefoot with no grit. A week later they still feel clean barefoot—never happened once in the 11 years I’ve lived here. I still sweep the back-door area every day because they bring in a lot (especially now with the rain and mud), but the Bissell gets everything else so well that the floors actually stay barefoot-clean. Cleaning the machine is easy: run the self-clean cycle, take it apart, rinse if needed, run it again if I want, let the brush roll and filter air-dry on the stand. Way better than mop buckets. Used the included formula and only noticed a very faint vinegar smell that went away fast. Bottom line: I still sweep daily, but this thing finally gets my floors truly clean in way less time and I can walk barefoot without feeling sand. Happy user! Read more

Update review down to 1 star : Steam function stopped working already and now the solution/water disbursement has completely stopped. Nothin is plugged up, I checked and when you press the button to disperse the solution, it just makes a noise and does nothing!! And of course Bissell said hey, it's no under warranty. Apparently they only honor 3 months. Purchase Date : April 6th : dead in the water : July 13, a whole 7 days past their luxurious warranty. Go buy something else. This is the 2nd one of the Crosswaves I have had. The first one lasted 2 years. I'm done with the Bissell brand. Side note : even my professional carpet cleaner, you know the $500 one, stopped working too after just a year, they honor no warranty on that either. I'll give it 4 stars and here is why. I'll start here, this is replacing my PetPro because I wanted an all in 1 with steamer function for sanitizing my floor and the suction power of the PetPro became lackluster. So, I have tested this on my hardwood floors that are light in color and on my huge area rug that is in the family room that is white and very light grey. I have a Husky that goes in and out all the time so dirt is always tracked in. This got all the dog. hair up off the floors be it hardwood or area rug. I was able to get the dirty paw prints off my very light area rug after a few passes. It's going to leave the area rug damp when you are done just like any other steam cleaner for rugs. The rug wasn't soaked when I was finished. I tested out the steam function. This is why it gets 4 stars. It's a warm steam, not a hot steam so it's not going to properly sanitize your floor. It's also not hot enough to get something that may have smashed and stuck/dried itself to the floor (I was hoping it would, but no it will not). Is it better than my PetPro even when that one was new, yes. It definitely has a stronger suction than the PetPro even when it was new and worked properly. These types of units are only means for surface cleaning and not a deep down clean when it comes to rugs. It'll clean your hardwood just as well as a mop after you have vacuumed or swept your floors. If you wan't to deep clean your rugs with a steam cleaner made for rugs, then you will need a deep cleaner as this is for surface really. I still have mine from when I had carpet in the house so I'm good there. Can you use this as your primary vacuum? No, because there are not extension to attach like a regular vacuum and the suction is about 2/3rds of a normal vacuum. A normal vacuum also allows you to raise and lower the rollers for what type of flooring you are on to get a deeper clean, at least when it comes to rugs/carpet. You cannot do that with this unit and it's not intended to do so. There is nothing currently on the market that takes a regular vacuum cleaner and meshes it with a deep steam cleaner. Look at this as an add on for your house cleaning when you are wanting to do a light cleaning. I do this daily. I steam clean my rugs every month for a deep clean. Not even the Tineco models that cost 3 to 5x the amount of this one will do it all or any better. I did buy a Tineco S7 along with this one so I could compare side by side their abilities and what you really get since I saw them advertised everywhere with mixed reviews. I'm keeping the Bissell and sending the Tineco S7 back because it doesn't do any better of a job than the Bissell IMHO including the steam function. The other brand isn't worth the extra cost even though it seems to be slightly better built. How long will this one last? Who knows as no one makes anything to last more than a few years. If this lasts as long as the PetPro I had at this cost, then fine IMHO. Everything is built to no longer work right as the warranty runs out or perhaps a year after anyways. One last note : Will this leave streaks on your hardwood floors, especially on darker floors, Yes, it will be highly noticeable. I noticed it on my very light floors as the light reflected, so I went over it again without solution to suck up the residual water. It did leave a slight residue on the floor since I was using solution. This is where I get lucky. Since I had the PetPro and the water/solution bottle fits this one too. I went back over the floors with straight water. It got up the residue and I also noticed it didn't leave streaks, so I think the streaking issue has something to do with the solution. I know this has been a long review, but it's an honest one. Use this as a daily cleaning around the house. Use a regular vacuum once a week for deep cleaning. Use an actual Steam cleaner for your rugs for deep cleaning when you wish. I do wish the steam function got hotter than it does, yes! Read more
